Review on πŸ“ Mitsubishi Pencil Pocket Sharpener DPS6001P: Ideal for Uni 2.0mm Wick Holder Sharpening by Kelly Caballes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My absolute favorite for the 2mm neck

I bought this to compare to the Staedtler 502 Rotary Pointer Sharpener. Now this is the only sharpener I use. Pros: Small enough to be handy when traveling. Suitable for all branded lead holders. for the 502, which provides a method of using a longer cone - small enough to easily lose the razor trap, it can be a nuisance to open to empty. Update: Now that I have used and recommended this product, I have one major complaint. If the rod inside the sharpener breaks, you will need to slide the inner body of the blade through the base to clean it. No included information or labeling made this clear, and I almost broke my sharpener when I found it out. I've been using this for about a month. It's incredibly comfortable and has a steeper taper than the sharpeners that come with most lead holders, meaning a longer, sharper point. I have used it many times and so far it has always given fantastic results. Easily fits in a bag so I can take it with me on the go so I can easily make finer and more detailed drawings even if I'm just going out for a coffee. I can't stress enough how much I love this thing and how much it has even enhanced my enjoyment of drawing. I almost lost it a couple of times because it's so small, it can easily disappear on a messy desk, but it's enough to always put it in the same place. I plan to buy a few more to have on hand, one for my car and one for my travel backpack. However, the ONE cone length option can be very limiting for some crafters compared to the more difficult to use Staedtler 502, which allows you to sharpen a longer cone. I would recommend this to anyone pulling from a point, but maybe not to those pulling from the side. Either way, it's cheap enough to get one and try it for yourself without much loss. Thanks for reading <3
